Well, I don't know if the set of cases where it'll work can be defined
in detail to a point where it is useful. If it is, then sure, let's do

My point is that if it will work in some cases, then the documentation
should *acknowledge that fact*, because else people will assume the
documentation is wrong, and believe it is intended to work, which is not
the case.

Wy not just say "pushing into a shallow repository is not supported"
instead of "pushing into a shallow repository won't work."
